Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Western Ontario (Canada), 2007.

The Responsibility to Protect (R2P), the 2001 report of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS), is examined as a contribution to the debate over humanitarian intervention. In light of contentious issues involved in the debate over recent interventions and failures to intervene, this study considers the extent to which the recommendations in the Responsibility to Protect Report are feasible. Two different but essential aspects of the R2P doctrine are discussed: its theoretical and practical relevance. With regards to the former, the thesis examines three of the most controversial issues of humanitarian intervention: the dilemma of sovereignty versus universality of human rights, the question of proper authorization, and that of military capacity. The analysis of these issues suggests that R2P offers a basis for consensus on what to do when faced with extreme humanitarian emergencies. After an examination of the theoretical realm, the study follows the normative development of the R2P doctrine in the political realm, and evaluates its chances of implementation.

520 $a The Responsibility to Protect (R2P), the 2001 report of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS), is examined as a contribution to the debate over humanitarian intervention. In light of contentious issues involved in the debate over recent interventions and failures to intervene, this study considers the extent to which the recommendations in the Responsibility to Protect Report are feasible. Two different but essential aspects of the R2P doctrine are discussed: its theoretical and practical relevance. With regards to the former, the thesis examines three of the most controversial issues of humanitarian intervention: the dilemma of sovereignty versus universality of human rights, the question of proper authorization, and that of military capacity. The analysis of these issues suggests that R2P offers a basis for consensus on what to do when faced with extreme humanitarian emergencies. After an examination of the theoretical realm, the study follows the normative development of the R2P doctrine in the political realm, and evaluates its chances of implementation.
520 $a It is concluded that the R2P is the best available response to the humanitarian intervention debate, one that puts forward a practical, workable compromise on what to do when faced with mass killings. As a theoretical proposition, the R2P doctrine appears to hold promise by bringing the contentious humanitarian intervention topic closer to a reasonable resolution. As a practical proposition, one that would translate into implementation, the R2P also holds promise; however, three significant gaps related to political will, capacity, and implementation need to be addressed before R2P becomes operational.
